Weak Recap: No more room in hell

When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth. Indeed, they do walk the earth, as proven by the recent activities of Alice Cooper and Ozzy Osbourne.
And you just know that the apocalypse is about to come when someone calls Lady Gaga metal.
But one thing at a time, let's keep this for the infamous "after the jump," when I'm taking my turn to rape interview Mark about last week's happenings in the world of metal. Here it comes: Make the jump.
BlackGates release final song of 3-song demo

If you don't know BlackGates by now, you've surely missed out. We've interviewed two of the four bandmembers -- Jeremy Von Epp and Dan Nelson -- and now the band released the final song, called 'Vacant,' of their 3-song demo on their Reverbnation page.
Head over there right now or use the player below to listen to all 3 songs.
And now, make the jump for some pictures of the studio, the band recorded their demo at.
Interview: Jeremy Von Epp (BlackGates)

We've reported about BlackGates before. The band that includes Dan Nelson (Inside Hollow, Farewell To Washington, ex-Anthrax), Paul Bostaph (Testament, ex-Slayer, ex-Exodus), Uriah Duffy (ex-Whitesnake) and Jeremy Von Epp.
Sadly, we didn't know that much about Von Epp, so it was a good idea to interview Jeremy to get to know him a bit better and introduce him to all of you.
Make the jump to read my interview with Jeremy Von Epp, guitarist of BlackGates and a swell dude.
BlackGates release second song

I already love this band. BlackGates just released their second song/demo on Reverbnation yesterday and -- just like 'Seeds Of War' -- this song, called 'Break,' kills.
Don't believe me? Listen to it below. You can also listen to 'Seeds Of War' while you're at it. May aswell enjoy two great songs.
Dan Nelson is a busy man

Dan Nelson (pictured above with his Blackgates bandmates) is hard at work. Here's a little overview of what he's been up to lately:
- Blackgates released their first song 'Seeds Of War' (listen to the song below) on their official Reverbnation site and are going to release a second song next saturday. Stay updated on Facebook.
- After a reunion concert last saturday in New York City (videos after the jump), Inside Hollow, with Nelson on vocals, decided to get back together as a full-time band. You can listen to their album from 2005, called 'The Lazarus Pit,' on their MySpace page. Take it from me, it's awesome!
- Farewell to Washington, Dan's third band, are on a break for now with their two additional bandmembers being busy with work and personal related stuff.
Now, make the jump for the live videos of the above mentioned Inside Hollow reunion gig.
Interview: Dan Nelson

I've been a fan of Anthrax for a long time now and I supported them even after dumping bandmember after bandmember, but, like many others, I just got sick of the band handling their business that poorly after a while.
I've seen them live in 2009 when Dan Nelson was still in the band and he blew me away. Great stage presence, great vocals, the guy was a beast on that very day, so I looked forward to the upcoming album 'Worship Music,' but everyone knows what happened next.
Dan Nelson is not with Anthrax anymore but he's still working hard and soon we'll all be able to hear him do what he does best: sing like a motherfucker. But first, he gave an interview to your favorite website, Dose of Metal. Read it after the jump.
